Ramp 2013 JKUR Build Thread

[RamP]

All good advice. I'll be looking for the "must have's" for recovery.

From what i understand just about all D rings are made in China and are just branded for each company who sells them.

 

[RamP]

That's a bummer. I am always looking to buy local from stateside vendors.

Most venders will still benefit I'm just saying most are made there

Those are expensive

Trucklites are here from Northridge4X4


Insane upgrade from stock. Now I'm debating on wether or not to go back to a white grill.

I haven't had any experience with them but they seem legit.

I have a ASR kinetic recovery rope and it has the smoothest pull Compared to just a normal strap. The are also much cheaper than bubba ropes www.customsplice.com/KERR-Ropes/.

New addition arrived today. Great packaging too.

nice bumper:thumb: you still have the warn powerplant?

 

[RamP]

Absolutely. It'll drop right in.

 

[RamP]

Got the bumper done today. Went on smooth with the Project-JK instructions. The powerplant is a tight fit. A cover won't be going over this one.

 

[cozdude]

damn that looks good!!

 

[olram30]

winch looks good sunk in that bumper! :thumb:

 

[RamP]

Yeah the LOD bumper is awesome for dropping it down. Here's a side by side of the passenger front fender. The pic on the left is with the stock bumper and the one on the right is with the LOD and Warn installed.


Also added some shackles to complete the front end. I used rubber grommets to keep it tight.

Just ordered a Poison Spyder Evap canister skid from Northridge. While I do feel that the JK's have decent protection underneath, the trails here in the northeast usually consist of "tire size" rocks. I'd hate to misjudge one and rip the canister off. Resulting in a tow out of the woods.
After this will be a pro-tek skid system from ORE.

We'll my rear diff cover took a beating this past weekend. Time to upgrade.
Originally ordered a Dynatrac cover but just go an email that they are back ordered. A nearby shop has both the ARB and Poison Spyder cover in stock. Which one would you go with?

I would go with ARB. No particular reason except I like it more.
